DID THEY INHERIT 1T.
Cor. to the Pioneer.

Cor. to the ItOneef.
Some six years ago there was dis
tillery on the farm joining my fathers.
There were a number of men who used
to patronize it and carry away in jugs,
and, very often, in their stomachs, the
article distilled. Among the number
were two that I Remembered very well,
as they frequently came and worked
for father on the farm. Last April
was reminded of those men, as the
great-grandson of one and the grand
son of the other came to me to get work.
They were poorly clad, and their boots
but little better than none.
1 could not think of sending them
out into the snow with such boots and
furnished them with some, expecting
they would be honest enough to work
and paw for them. But I was disap-
pointed. They both seemed devoid of
any principle, and neither of them
could read or write.
Is it not probable that the influence
exefted on those men by the use of the
liquor made at that old distillery is still
shown in the lives and conduct of these
young men?
have pondered over it and thought
much about the man who owned and
ran the old still. The last time / re-
member seeing him he stood on the
south side of his barn, with head droop-
ed and seemed very thoughtful. A
friend of his had shot himself a.short
time before, and have often thought
that he was i'm a deep study about his
future prospects, and perhaps had fore
holdings of the influence he bad exerted
on those who had patronized his distil-
lery.
Is there not too limited a view taken
of intemperance? Can it be otherwise
than that the distiiler, brewer, whole
sale and retail liquor dealers of intoxi-
eating liquors, after they pass away
from this state of existence, will know
and realize the influence that their
business has exerted and is still exert
ing on the lives of those who have dealt
with them?
The suffering and privations endured
by persons intimately connected with
those who habitually use intoxicating
liquor is enough to cause the least
thoughtful to wish the whole business
annihilated, and when we carefully in-
vestigate the subject and see the effects
of it, not only on those who use it, but
on generations yet to follow, are We not,
most of us, too Indifferent and too slack
in our efforts to endeavor to convince
those who are engaged In the manu-
facture and sale of it, that their own
best interests in this life and the life to
come require the entire abandonment
of the business? G.. I. HITCHCOCK.

THE REMONsTRANCE; WHERE is 1T?
Since the impression seems to have
gone abroad through the community
that the effort of the temperance peo-
pie against the renewal of license was
allowed to go by default, we will SIM
ply say the remonstrance. which was
circulated by the w. G. T. u. people OF

censes of the saloon-keepers of the city,
is in the hands of committee appoint
ed by the Union to receive it and to
present it, accompanied by letter from
the Union, to the County Court meet
ing in September. This remonstrance
is not legal document, but simply
conveys to the Court the temperance
sentiments and convictions of its sign
ers. The Union has not abandoned its
efforts nor relaxed its vigilance.
